Champagne Sprayer One-Handed Sealing and Trigger Valve
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sparkling wine sprayers do not allow for controlled and prolonged spraying and require both hands to operate, making it difficult to balance the bottle in an upside-down position.
Innovation Solution
A sparkling wine sprayer with a bottle top sealing system and quick release lever that provides an airtight seal, connected to a tube for spraying, allowing the bottle to be securely attached and operated with one hand, enabling prolonged and controlled spraying.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If a traditional sparkling wine sprayer is used, then the bottle can be held in upside-down position, but the spraying cannot be controlled and prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The trigger mechanism dynamically controls the valve opening and closing, allowing the user to start, stop, and regulate the spraying action. This dynamic control enables both prolonged spraying when needed and immediate cessation when not, resolving the contradiction between spraying duration and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The valve mechanism changes the flow parameter of the sparkling wine from closed to open state. By controlling the valve opening degree and duration through the trigger, the system can adjust spraying intensity and duration, enabling controlled and prolonged spraying while maintaining ease of operation.
2Reliability
If both hands are used to operate the sprayer, then the bottle can be securely held and sprayed, but it is difficult to balance the bottle in upside-down position
Solution Approach 1:
The bottle top sealing system integrates the sealing function and the bottle-holding function into a single integrated component. This merging allows the bottle to be securely attached to the sprayer body, providing both reliable security and ease of operation with one hand.
Solution Approach 2:
The quick release lever mechanism provides automatic locking and securing of the bottle top without requiring continuous manual intervention. Once attached, the system maintains the secure connection automatically, allowing the user to operate with one hand while maintaining bottle security.
3Ease of operation
If a quick release lever is used to attach the bottle top, then the operation becomes easier with one hand, but the airtight seal may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment mechanism is segmented into the quick release lever for easy attachment/detachment and the sealing system for maintaining airtight seal. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specialized function optimally - the lever provides ease of operation while the sealing system ensures reliability of the airtight seal.
Solution Approach 2:
The sealing system acts as an intermediary between the quick release lever and the bottle top. It mediates between the mechanical attachment action and the requirement for an airtight seal, ensuring that the quick release mechanism does not compromise the seal integrity while maintaining ease of operation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables controlled and prolonged spraying of sparkling wine while allowing the bottle to be held in an upside-down position with ease, using a secure grip and airtight seal, improving user convenience and safety.
Implementation Method 1
a bottle top sealing system pivotally and operatively coupled to a quick release lever to provide an airtight seal to a sparkling wine bottle
Implementation Method 2
The trigger is then pressed to open a valve in the tube and align the tube sections. This allows the sparkling wine to flow through the tube and spray through the nozzle

AI summary
A sparkling wine sprayer configured to spray a sparkling wine for recreational activities includes a bottle top sealing system pivotally and operatively coupled to a quick release lever to provide an airtight seal to a sparkling wine bottle. The bottle top sealing system is further connected to a tube that carries a sparkling wine through the sprayer. To use the sprayer, a top of the bottle is sealed by pulling the lever towards a user, attaching a top of the bottle to the bottle top sealing system and then pushing the lever back. The trigger is then pressed to that opens a valve in the tube and aligns the tube sections, allowing the sparkling wine to flow through the tube and spraying the sparkling wine through the nozzle. On the other hand, depressing the trigger stops spraying of the sparkling wine.
